Yu Wenhao went to Emperor Ming Yuan and asked about gunpowder weapons, but Emperor Ming Yuan didn't know about it, and even Emperor Taishang never told him.

He sent Mrs. Wei to ask if there had been any records, but Mrs. Wei said that he had never recorded the use of gunpowder weapons in any war.

"However, Emperor Taishang said that he had only used one time, and then he was banned by Sect Master Hui, father, although these weapons cannot be compared with the chariots developed by the Great Zhou, they are also very useful, and Erchen suggested that the Ministry of War can continue to develop them." Yuwen Hao said.

Emperor Ming Yuan hesitated, "Since Sect Master Hui has issued a strict decree to prohibit these weapons, I don't think it's good to disobey his old man's will." ”

Yuwen Hao was anxious, "Father, now we buy the chariot of the Great Zhou, and the lethality is also very great, we will also use it on the battlefield, why can we buy other people's, but we can't develop it ourselves? ”

Emperor Ming Yuan thought for a while, "What did your imperial grandfather say about this?"

"He said he didn't object, but he didn't approve either."

Emperor Ming Yuan was silent for a moment, "He didn't make this will, and I can't make the decision." ”

In other words, he was not willing to be a person who disobeyed Grandmaster Hui's will.

Yu Wenhao sighed, "Father, you think about it, you don't have to tell the world about this matter, the Ministry of War will research and develop it privately, and when it is developed, whether it is used or not, this is a later story." ”

Emperor Ming Yuan said, "Sect Master Hui forbidden, it should be that he does not want the Northern Tang Dynasty to fall into a situation of reckless force, and his old man's worries are also reasonable, the killing is too deep, it will always cause disasters for the country, and now the people have been rumored, if the news of the development of weapons spreads, I am afraid that there will be chaos again, of course, the Northern Desert and Hong Lie joined forces to deal with the Great Zhou, it is because the Great Zhou developed chariots, afraid that the Great Zhou will grow stronger and threaten them, if the Great Zhou does not have Chen Jingting, I am afraid that it will not be able to hold it. ”

Yu Wenhao said, "Father, that's what I said, but today's Great Zhou, who dares to humiliate the crisis, but there is a chance if there is danger, if we want the Northern Tang Dynasty to become a strong country, we have to develop weapons and equipment, the Great Zhou will not always be friendly with the Northern Tang Dynasty, we have to think about the eternal life of the Northern Tang Dynasty, we will not invade, but we must have a solid defense." ”

Emperor Ming Yuan said, "If you want to defend, then build a city wall, wouldn't the effect be better?"

Yu Wenhao was full of blood, and was defeated by Emperor Ming Yuan's words, he knew that his father was afraid that the Northern Desert would be invaded in a big way when he learned about the development of weapons, but now in fact, the war may also be triggered, this battle, if you really want to fight, then fight.

He knew that it would be difficult to persuade his father for a while, so he had to find another way.

After leaving the palace and returning home, with a melancholy face, Yuan Qingling knew that he had touched a nail, and said, "How is it?"

"These weapons were indeed used on the battlefield, but Grandpa Hui later ordered it to be banned, and historians were not allowed to record it, I don't know why, Grandpa Huang only said that it would be forbidden by Grandpa Hui if he killed too much, but I think there should be another reason, otherwise, why didn't it go down in history?"

"The middle-aged and old generals of the DPRK should know about it," Yuan Qing Ling said.

Yu Wenhao's heart moved, and he immediately ordered to go to Yuan's mansion to invite Mrs. Dingguo to come over.

Mrs. Dingguo knew that the prince had summoned her, and there must be something important, so she didn't delay and came over immediately.

Hearing Yu Wenhao talk about gunpowder weapons, she was stunned, "There are still in the military department"

"Yes, Mrs. Dingguo knows how to use those weapons," Yu Wenhao asked.

Mrs. Dingguo's eyes slowly injected vitality, excited, "Isn't it all destroyed?"

"Some are in the cellar, but not much." Yuwen Hao said.

Mrs. Dingguo slowly put down the crutches, her eyes were far away, and the excitement became more and more obvious, "Back then, these weapons were indeed used on the battlefield, our army was 10,000 people, and the enemy army was 100,000 people, and the old body was fortunate to participate in this battle, that is called a thunderbolt, you must not imagine how our 10,000 sergeants fought the formation of a million male divisions."

"Then why was it banned again," Yuan Qingling asked.

Mrs. Dingguo said, "That battle, killed 50,000 enemies, captured 10,000, on the battlefield, blood flowed like a river, corpses piled up like a mountain, after the great victory returned to the dynasty, but was accused by the literati in the country of my Northern Tang Dynasty generals bloodthirsty and cruel, even the enemy's women, children and old people did not let go, just that year, the Northern Tang Dynasty was seriously flooded, flooded several towns, the people were displaced, those literati said that it was the military general's vicious fault, causing natural disasters. ”

Yuan Qingling's heart moved, "That year, there won't be just a few people in the royal family who are pregnant."

Mrs. Dingguo was surprised, "How does the crown princess know?"

Yu Wenhao and his wife glanced at each other, and suddenly understood in their hearts that the so-called royal family is dead in spring, the Huaijiang River is about to explode, and the people are displaced, in fact, it implies that the disaster of the year was the same as the royal family's lack of morality and now.

It was someone who deliberately wanted to create the same rumor offensive as back then.

Yu Wenhao thought to himself, his father probably knew these things, but because of the will of Grandmaster Youhui, he couldn't mention it as the emperor of later generations, and because of this, he opposed the manufacture of weapons, fearing that this time the flood would point to the royal family's injustice.

No wonder I felt that when Mrs. Wei's statement was not recorded, he was a little hesitant and stopped.

"Then how did Sect Master Hui settle this matter back then," Yu Wenhao asked.

Mrs. Dingguo said, "Back then, Grandmaster Hui had not yet ascended the throne, but the emperor was on the throne, and many people in the court blamed the generals, and even forced Grandmaster Hui to kill Prince Anfeng and his wife to calm the anger of the heavens. ”

Yuwen Hao said angrily, "Isn't it ridiculous that you have made war achievements, but you have to face the danger of killing your head"

"Yes, but fortunately, Emperor Xian didn't do it, he even rewarded the generals and soldiers who had meritorious service in this battle, calmed public opinion, controlled the flood, and Prince Anfeng became the hot grandson of the court."

Yuwen Hao breathed a sigh of relief, but then he was puzzled, "Since Emperor Xian did not dispose of Prince Anfeng, nor did he ban gunpowder weapons, why did he ban it after Sect Master Hui ascended the throne?"

Mrs. Dingguo lowered her voice, "There is a sentence, the old body is really disrespectful, but this is the case, after Sect Master Hui ascended the throne, the Huaijiang River was seriously flooded, and someone in the court and China took advantage of this war to say that Sect Master Hui couldn't withstand the pressure, or ordered the weapons to be burned, and Grandmaster Hui was never as tough as the emperor." ”

Although Mrs. Dingguo's words are a little disrespectful, Yu Wenhao thinks that it is true.

Mrs. Dingguo said, "The prince took over the military department, and there were rumors about those flying stones from the sky, thinking that someone knew that the prince would find the weapons in these warehouses, so he spread rumors in advance, because he was afraid that the prince would continue to develop these weapons." ”

"Madame thinks that someone will deliberately obstruct it," Yu Wenhao asked.

Mrs. Dingguo thought for a while, "Back then, Chu Shoufu's father, Chu Huan, who was Shang Shuling, colluded with Prince Yu to the people of the Qin family in the Northern Desert, and Prince Yu was killed by the Annihilation, but he also leaked a lot of news to the Qin family in the Northern Desert to know that the people of the Qin family would always pay attention to these weapons, so it is very likely that the people of the Northern Desert are still making trouble."
